“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully you leave something good behind.” Anthony Bourdain ( June 25th 1956 – June 8th 2018 )
“That’s still 23 people in all, of whom eight are black men. Twenty-three too many, but it contrasts with 26 this time last year, 22 in 2016, and 39 in 2015.”

Beautiful parents with beautiful little kids way more stylish than me (and mine) waiting in line in front, and I hear Spanish, French and Italian.

This is their garden, and they are the ones who kindly share it with others.

– Tell him that anything he might say is an excuse and you don’t want to hear any more of them
